Shingeki no Kyojin 04: it's payback time! or is it?

I didn't expect Shingeki no Kyojin to not hold back at all.

Eren Jaeger has got
to be my fave Kaji Yuji
character now and Shingeki no Kyojin is
definitely my fave Spring series this year. Eren, as a main character is pretty
strong given his resolve and sticking to it as well as his growth throughout
his training as a soldier. The flow of the story is being handled well with no time to spare for any pointless
scenes. Shingeki no Kyojin is always on
the move with every action and development dedicated to Eren and his possible
teammates to kill those titans.

There're mainly to
points that really captured me in this episode. The first one is Eren's
unexpected encouragement speech after their graduation. While a number of
trainees were probably up for the comfortable life inside the walls, Eren never
backed away from his goal right from the very beginning. Never been discouraged
by the fear of his experience nor the difficulty of the training. Eren said:

You're
just giving up because you think you can't win? It's true. We've suffered only
defeats so far. That's because we knew hardly anything about them! We can't
defeat them using sheer numbers. We may have lost, but the knowledge we
obtained from those battles is our guiding beacon of hope. Yet you'd discard
the tactical progress bought by hundreds of thousands of sacrifices just to
serve yourself up on a silver platter? You've got to be kidding me. I'll kill
every last one of them and break free of these walls! That is my dream! Mankind
hasn't lost everything yet!

Those words actually
encouraged some of the tops trainees to enlist in the Recon Corps. I doubt
there'll be many of them since it's probably the most terrifying path out there
- actually facing the titans outside the walls is like suicide. But aside from
the revenge that probably got stuck in Eren's head, his drive to live outside
the walls is pushing him to end the never ending fear of the titans that
resided in the minds of mankind.

hisashiburi Colossal Titan :3 We finally meet again.

The second point
that captured my attention in this episode is the reappearance of the colossal
titan right in front of Eren himself. Despite the terrifying the appearance of
the titan right after their graduation, Eren was not covered by fear. Maybe for
a second there. But this is what he was working hard for, right?

With how that cliffhanger just made me want for more.
I'm really hating myself for watching this weekly 'cause the wait is such a
torture (but definitely not as much as the torture Chihayafuru just gave -_- ohgod) Okay. That's the end of me
blabbering about how much I'm actually liking Shingeki
no Kyojin :3
